And everyone talks about the “evil, greedy” Yankees, yet we have agreed to only charge the Rays $15 million to rent the Tampa stadium. That’s under $200k a game, which is fucking nothing.

 

So they'll be taking a loss every game because I doubt they'll sell $200k worth of tickets to any game not played against the Yankees.  How kind of them.

A few other teams have good attendance in TB. Red Sox are 1.

What else do the yankees do with that stadium during the season? And Could they not, for the benefit of the community, just donated it? Nah....

Yep, both will be there in ‘25. 

No they won’t.

The minor league team will play in another stadium that the Yankees own / within their system.

IMO that’s why the rays have to pay as the Yankees farm system will need to absorb the cost / effort to put their single A team somewhere else.

The Tarpons will play on an auxiliary field at the Yankees spring training complex, which Steinbrenner field is a part of. That’s going to create issues also though because the Yankees FCL rookie ball team plays on that field. Basically the Yankees are bending over backwards to help out the Rays in a way no other organization would.
